Creepy but funny Jackdaw

Now you know what a sunbathing jackdaw looks like. Also, she didn't make a sound, so she's not singing or anything when her beak is open. Just creepy silence.

This was a young bird we sheltered for a few months before giving it back its freedom. Jackdaws shouldn't be kept as pets, and this one wasn't either.

Let me reassure people who seem to think that this bird is sick/terrified/hungry/etc. It's having a sunbath. In this case she was having one on someone's arm, at other times she flew to the window herself and perched down spreading her wings and feathers until she had enough. They do it in the wild, too, so keep an eye out for them and you might see it. Anyway, again, this is not a pet: it's an orphaned bird we sheltered for a few months before setting it free in the wild to be with its kind.

Jackdaw: "Oh my god... just how much I drink last night? I think I'm gonna be sick."

this is a young bird, right? because I'm holding an grownup one in my hands right now (the poor thing has his wing broken) and you can clearly see the difference in them.

It's communicating with aliens. Don't forget that birds are more evolved than us humans
